Under these laws and policies, all members of the campus community who have reason to believe that child abuse or neglect has occurred must report promptly to the appropriate child protective or law enforcement authorities. In addition, UMB must be informed of the report under certain circumstances.

President Jay A. Perman, MD, has designated Dr. Roger J. Ward, Chief Accountability Officer, to receive such reports of suspected child abuse or neglect from employees, students, and others at the institution. Dr. Ward can provide hard copies of these materials and is available to address questions. You can reach him using the contact information below.

Any individual who in good faith makes or participates in making a report of suspected child abuse or neglect is immune from civil liability or criminal prosecution and is protected from any institution reprisal that might otherwise result from compliance with the reporting laws or policies. Any employee who fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect in violation of USM and UMB policies or procedures may face discipline.
